Read this slide- don’t copy it. WARNING: IN THE FOLLOWING SLIDES, POSITION IS IMPORTANT If I have something in a certain corner, at the top, at the bottom, centered, etc., you must place it in that same spot. If I have one line start on the left, your line should start on the left. If I have lines indented, the same lines must be indented on your paper. If I have bubbles that add information, you should have the same bubbles with the same information drawn to the side with a line connecting it to whatever it is describing.

REMEMBER Information that is underlined when handwritten will be italicized when typed. Read this slide- don’t copy it.

Note Card Formats

Note Cards Always take notes (paraphrasing or summarizing) in your OWN words. Change the structure too. When you use someone else’s words or ideas without giving credit, you commit plagiarism, a serious academic offense. Avoid plagiarism by always crediting your sources- even when paraphrasing. If you are quoting a source, be sure to use quotation marks and copy the words exactly as they are written in your source. You will only be allowed to fill one note card per source with a quote.

Read through the directions on information and organization. Read through the note-taking hints. Read this slide- don’t copy it.
